“My heart was really breaking at that moment, I couldn’t stand it for another second… and the people around us were shouting for you two to be together and clapping and screaming. Ha, looking back now I realize I was a bit impulsive. I was wearing your favorite blue roses, and a necklace I specially made for you, which is still lying in my safe…”
Even the usually strong-willed Yan Mingxuan couldn't hold back his tears, which welled up in his eyes for a long time before finally sliding down his cheeks...
"Fool...so we've missed out on all these years?"
Mu Ran looked up at the ceiling, forcing back her tears, her voice choked with emotion... She was afraid she would break down at any moment.
"Let's not miss out again, okay? Aran, will you be my girlfriend? I know I'm not prepared for anything right now... but I don't want to wait a moment longer..."
Yan Mingxuan felt like a complete fool back then. He gave up before he was even sure about anything. If they had gotten together earlier, they might be married now.
"good!"
Mu Ran agreed to Yan Mingxuan's request without hesitation.
The two embraced each other excitedly.
"Who are you! Let go of my aunt!"
Well... at crucial moments, someone always pops up to spoil the mood, and that person is Mu Zifeng.
He saw Mu Ran being held by a man, and he immediately told his girlfriend that he was coming to find Mu Ran.
Mu Zifeng came up to Mu Ran and Yan Mingxuan and started arguing.
"Mu Zifeng, what are you doing?"
Mu Ran released Yan Mingxuan and glared angrily at Mu Zifeng with a displeased expression!
She didn't even go over to disturb his date, but he came over to ruin it?
"Auntie, you used to never let anyone touch you, how could you hug this person today!"
Previously, when Mu Ran was abroad, all her suitors wanted to shake her hand, but she rejected them all, let alone hug her.
"He's my boyfriend, is there a problem? Shouldn't you call him 'uncle'?"
Mu Ran frowned her beautiful eyebrows and asked in return, then gestured for Mu Zifeng to call someone.
"No! You're not even married yet, why should I call you that?"
He's not even married yet, and they're already asking him to call that person "uncle"? Is his aunt okay? Anyway, he's not going to call her that; he'll resist to the end.
Does not being married now mean you'll be married in the future?
She was determined to marry Yan Mingxuan, and it was precisely because of Yan Mingxuan that she made Mu Zifeng call him uncle.
"I won't!"
Mu Zifeng crossed her arms and stubbornly turned her head to the side.
"I think I'll reconsider that game console."
Mu Ran brushed a stray hair from her brow and touched her eyebrow. What seemed like a casual remark actually implied that she wouldn't buy him a game console if he didn't call her "uncle."
"No...no, I'll call him that, Uncle..."
Upon hearing that the game console was going to be canceled, Mu Zifeng immediately reacted, forcing a stiff, fake smile... and reluctantly called out to Yan Mingxuan.
"Good boy/girl, so good..."
Yan Mingxuan was amused by the way the two interacted, and he couldn't help but tease Mu Zifeng.
Mu Zifeng was furious.
"If you have nothing else to do, go back and be with your girlfriend. Don't bother us on our date!"
Mu Ran said with disdain, "I finally got to spend time with Yan Mingxuan today, and I want to spend more time with him!"
"As expected, I've fallen out of favor... Humph!"
Mu Zifeng left after uttering those words with a sour expression...
Mu Ran felt a little helpless. Her dear nephew was such a clingy person, and Mu Ran wasn't that much older than him.
"Ah Ran, eat up, I've cut it up for you."
Yan Mingxuan had already placed the order on his way here, and the waiter served the dishes as soon as Mu Zifeng left.
Yan Mingxuan cut all the steak in front of him and placed it in front of Mu Ran.
"Mmm, thank you, Ah-xuan."
Mu Ran felt like the air was filled with sugar... She was so happy and felt it was unreal. She had imagined this scene countless times, and it had finally come true.
"I'll take you home after we eat."
Yan Mingxuan continued cutting the steak with elegance, no longer looking cold, but rather refined and even a little warm.
"Um?"
He just took her home? ? ? Isn't that too fast? Mu Ran was full of questions.
"Now that the owner of the necklace has returned, I should return it to its rightful owner."
Seeing Mu Ran's confusion, Yan Mingxuan had no choice but to explain the purpose of bringing her home.
"So that's how it is..."
Mu Ran nodded in sudden realization; she had been overthinking things.
She was really looking forward to seeing what the necklace Yan Mingxuan had customized for her would look like. Although so many years had passed and the design might not be so novel, it was a testament to his sincerity towards her.
So he has never changed his mind all these years?
"What does Aran think?"
Yan Mingxuan squinted with amusement and asked Mu Ran if he had been too direct and presumptuous, causing her to misunderstand.
"No...nothing's wrong..."
Mu Ran hurriedly avoided Yan Mingxuan's gaze, feeling somewhat guilty...
"Hehe, then eat your food properly."
Yan Mingxuan is deadly when he's not smiling! He's even more deadly when he smiles.
Mu Ran was almost stunned... She quickly snapped out of it and pretended to be nonchalant as she ate her steak.

Su Family Villa
"Luo Luo, Nan Xing, come sit next to your auntie. Your auntie has something for you. Ying Ying, go get it!"
Yan Chuxiao waved enthusiastically to Yan Xiluo and Chen Nanxing, gesturing for them to sit on either side of him.
He gestured to Su Mengying with his eyes.
"Okay, Mom, I'll go right away!"
Su Mengying understood immediately. She knew what Yan Chuxiao wanted her to get, so she immediately got up and ran out the door.
“I also have something to give to my aunt, Ayan, could you get it from the car for me? It’s in the back seat.”
Since Yan Chuxiao had asked her to sit next to him, she couldn't leave, so she could only ask Lan Jingyan to fetch it.
"certainly."
Lan Jingyan smiled slightly and stood up like a gentleman.
“Then I’ll go too. Nanxing also has something to give to her aunt.”
Yan Chenyu immediately remembered that when she went shopping with Chen Nanxing, Chen Nanxing had specially picked out a gift for Yan Chuxiao and put it in the car.
"You've come all this way, why bring your aunt gifts? It's too formal!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Chuxiao was surprised to learn that both children had brought her additional gifts. They had already brought quite a few gifts when they came, and now they were bringing her something else separately?
"Auntie, this is the first time we've met!"
Yan Xiluo smiled and said, "No matter what, we can't be without proper etiquette when we meet for the first time."
"Yes, Auntie, this is the first time we've met."
Chen Nanxing agreed, saying that since she was Yan Chenyu's aunt, they should at least show some courtesy on their first meeting.
"Hehe...Good! Both are wonderful girls, Auntie likes them very much!"
Yan Chuxiao was overjoyed. Both girls were very polite and well-mannered, and he liked them more and more the more he looked at them.
"Mom, I've brought the things!"
Su Mengying soon came in carrying two gift bags, both containing XL products.
The packaging is luxurious and beautiful; the two are in different styles and color schemes.
